Rubina's Cake Shoppe

My children have been asking me to make chocolate covered strawberries for quite some time. I’m not usually big on Valentine’s Day, but this year all the holiday festivities around me inspired me to make them extra special for my little ones. I decided to have some fun and decorate the chocolate covered strawberries to look like love bugs. The […]

I was super excited when asked to make a My Little Pony Cake because it took me back to my obsession with My Little Pony when I was a little girl. I wanted the cake to capture the bright and colorful spirit of the theme and this invitation created by Party Posh Printables was the perfect inspiration. I loved the diaganol […]

  Sometimes it’s nice to have a dessert option that isn’t so heavy and overly sweet but that can still satisfy your sweet tooth. This Triple Berry Mascarpone Trifle is a light and refreshing end to your meal. The mascarpone cheese folded into the fresh whipped cream adds richness and an extra depth of flavor. […]

I had a ton of fun making this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cake for Basil’s first birthday party this past weekend. I love all the 80’s comebacks! Making this cake brought back so many childhood memories. I still can’t get that catchy old school TMNT theme song out of my head. Basil’s parents gave me these […]

These […]

  My son’s elementary school is putting on a Cupcake Wars Competition in early February and invited me to be a guest judge. I was asked to come out to each classroom this week to show the the children a few sample designs for each theme in the competition as well as show them how […]

  For the past few weeks, I’ve been a little obsessed with making homemade marshmallows. I wanted to make those pillowy soft confections a little healthier so I used honey in my recipe instead of the more commonly used sweeteners- refined sugar and corn syrup. Now, when I try to come up with a recipe […]

I recently got hooked on the show, Master Chef Junior, where children 8-13 years old are challenged in a cooking competition. These kids are cooking up restaurant quality dishes like Seared Scallops, Chicken Liver Pate, Sriracha Foam and Fillet Mignon to perfection. It’s amazing to see what these children can do at such a young […]

                                    Yes, I know it’s way past Thanksgiving but I LOVE pumpkins so I’m stretching out the fall favorites as long as I can. If you love pumpkin pie as much as I do, run to the store […]
